We all fall in love with the fancy hires QPF and clowns now at d5-7. The models are really damn impressive. As the decades go by our expectations change and we demand more from them and want specific deets many days out. I think many of us forget what they were like in 2010 or 2000. They've missed plenty of storms in the past. Heck I remember when the euro was gaining its king status back when it only ran once per day, most of us did not get to see QPF, and we basically forecasted using H5-7-85 and 2m/1000mb. We were toggling coarse SLP contours on unisys.

Nothing scientific here, but I think they tinker with these models so much now that it’s difficult to analyze year to year trends.

Times are zulu/GMT...not EST. 12z is 7am EST and 18z is 1pm EST

It’ll be 1038 next run

We finally get our ‘38

I drove home through that. Fun one.

Chilly afternoon. 30° with snow showers

I saw that on CNN.com a week ago. Interesting start year there considering how cold that decade was compared to the rest of the century.

Just checked the hydro obs. Hermit Lake had 8.0”. Kinda strange to call that Gorham if that’s what they’re doing.

It was probably 0.8”.

Down to 33.6° with some black ice on surfaces.

0.76” of rain. Was surprised to be able to see the moon setting just now. This thing raced out of here.

39/34 -SHRA

Kinda cheap. 1.8” event cut in half evenly on each side of the day switch.

I remember that time the Pope nailed a prediction

20.6° with wind. Chilly morning. Not fake.

Beautiful animal

16 days until the sunsets start getting later. Snow or no snow…I want my light back.

32° this morning. Just enough breaks overnight to crust everything back up and make the driveway slippery. Looks like the remaining pack will slowly rot over the next week.

Crap. He sees a grinch on NYE too?

Looks average. Looks like it’s minding its own business outside nicely.

Just a common grass spider

My guess would be 96 based on coop obs.
